The approach presented in this paper belongs to the spectrum of intensional specifications, and is related to @cite_18 @cite_6 . In @cite_6 , a requirement specification language is proposed.

Surprisingly, when the system is near extremality and the asymptotic volume of the K3 is large, the first two terms combine into a dominant, negative, contribution.

Here, the story is particularly simple. We find that, at some radius greater than @math , the volume of the K3 always shrinks to zero, indicating that somewhere outside this radius, the K3 has reached its stringy volume. Note that the old ( @math ) shell solution @cite_0 falls into this category.

Dataset storage, exchange, and access play a critical role in scientific applications. For such purposes netCDF serves as a portable and efficient file format and programming interface, which is popular in numerous scientific application domains. However, the original interface does not provide an efficient mechanism f...
MPI-IO is a parallel I O interface specified in the MPI-2 standard. It is implemented and used on a wide range of platforms. The most popular implementation, ROMIO @cite_13 is implemented portably on top of an abstract I O device layer @cite_1 @cite_22 that enables portability to new underlying I O systems. One of the ...

Numerous systems for dissemination, retrieval, and archiving of documents have been developed in the past. Those systems often focus on one of these aspects and are hard to extend and combine. Typically, the transmission protocols, query and filtering languages are fixed as well as the interfaces to other systems. We r...
@cite_12 is a push-model publish subscribe system for alerting within a wide-area network. It offers scalability by distributing filters over servers within the network and saving bandwidth by filtering close to the event sources and bundling similar subscriptions. Siena is modular and offers sophisticated filtering me...

The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hypothesis relating the number of integral roots of a polynomial f in one variable and the Straight-Line Program (SLP) complexity of f. A consequence of the truth of this conjecture is that, for the Blum-Shub-Smale model over the complex numbers, P differs from NP. We prove two weak v...
That the @math -conjecture is still open is a testament to the fact that we know far less about the complexity measures @math and @math than we should. For example, there is still no more elegant method known to compute @math for a fixed polynomial than brute force enumeration. Also, the computability of additive compl...
